Dewdrops – Turn your Git repo into a single Markdown file for LLMs
- medunes 8mo agoI wrote a small CLI tool in Go called Dewdrops to help with "context stuffing" (feeding codebases to Claude/GPT). The Problem: Copy-pasting files manually is slow, and most existing scripts don't handle .gitignore logic correctly or include binary files that waste tokens. The Solution: Dewdrops walks your directory tree, strictly respects your .gitignore rules (using git index logic), skips binaries/images, and outputs a formatted Markdown file. Key Features: Tree-First: Prints a tree structure at the top so the LLM understands architecture before reading code. Go-based: Compiles to a single static binary (no npm/pip deps). Air-Gap Ready: Runs entirely locally. It’s open source (MIT). I’d love to hear your feedback on the traversal logic or formatting.

- medunes 8mo agomore insghts please? would be thankful
- verdverm 8mo agoI'm not going to do that in HN comments, get on Bluesky and join the conversations there
- medunes 8mo agoI agree that for fully autonomous agents (or IDE extensions), tool-use/search is the superior architecture. dewdrops is specifically targeting the "Chat UI" workflow, where a developer just wants to drag/drop a feature branch into Claude/GPT/Gemini to ask a quick question without setting up a local RAG pipeline. It's a "dumb tool" for a specific constraint. it also doesn't touch or generate AGENTS.md. It just respects .gitignore and dumps the raw source.
